Back to school brings the morning routine back into full gear. I don't know about you but with my girls that means dealing with bad hair days. You know those mornings are inevitable "mom, I can't go to school my hair just ...". Well ladies and gents here is a little hair affirmation that should be read every morning to eliminate the morning whine. "There are NO bad hair days ONLY opportunities to Accessories" say it with me and believe it "There are NO bad hair days ONLY opportunities to Accessories". Ah don't you already feel more relaxed thinking about doing your hair tomorrow?

4. Fold ribbon in staggered loops as illustrated. The wider the loops the bigger your bow...so if you are anticipating a REALLY bad hair day go big! I recommend starting with 3 -inch loops.

5. Using needle and thread stitch along center of loops. Pull thread tight and wrap thread around center of bow and tie off with a knot. On a 3 inch piece of matching ribbon tie knot in center.

6. Wrap knotted ribbon around bow with knot facing at center of front and hot glue in place. Trim any excess ribbon and glue clip in place (I used a combo clip, I like to clip it to an elastic headband.)

7. Clip bows to elastic ribbon on frame. Now you are set and ready for your next morning routine.
